How to set og:description

The preview card shows a title and an image with no supporting line, which reads as a bare link and converts worse than one that explains itself.

What 13x checks

This is rule social.og-description in the public registry: og:description is set. It runs on every audit, against the pages we actually fetched, and its result is derived from the response rather than estimated.

Registry version 2026-07-30. Every rule is published, and the audit is deterministic — the same page produces the same finding every time.

The fix

The same text the audit hands you when this check fails on your own site.

<meta property="og:description" content="One sentence that makes the link worth clicking." />
